There’s nothing quite like being at the wheel of a powerful SUV on a long highway drive, and that’s exactly what I did with the new Volkswagen Tiguan R-line. The old Tiguan has been replaced with this sportier and more driver-focused R-line edition, which is now the single and standard variant in India for the Tiguan. Priced at Rs. 48,99,900 (ex-showroom), the Volkswagen Tiguan R-line is a premium, punchy, and very German-engineered SUV with an impressive suite of features and specifications.

Samsung Galaxy A56 first impressions: Design Samsung’s high-end smartphones look good, and the same can be said of the Galaxy A56.

Contrary to what many people might tell you, you don’t have to spend upwards of Rs. 1,00,000 to get the flagship smartphone experience. It doesn’t even have to be sort of close to Rs. 1,00,000; even a budget of about Rs. 70,000 is good enough to get the premium experience with top-of-the-line hardware and camera capabilities that generally deliver in a pinch. That’s exactly what Xiaomi is offering with the new Xiaomi 15 - the starter phone in the company’s flagship lineup for 2025.
